Hey, thanks so much for the info! I had no idea they were incorporating the fediverse into this Threads program (which I have not heard of. Looks like Twitter, but better, since it's federated).

If you think Threads is better cuz of federation then you'd love Mastodon. It's basically federated Twitter with double the word limit and more QoL features than Threads.

But yeah, Threads started as a seized opportunity after the whole X thing happened and people were looking to migrate off the platform. Meta basically tried to offer its own Twitter to syphon users into its own ecosystem.

I do love Mastodon! We had looked into setting that up before deciding on Lemmy (due to it's clear similarity to Reddit).
